I know the internet has killed my attention span.

2. Your focus and attention span have gone down. The internet has done that to a lot of people. Try meditation - just do some breathing exercises and mind-clearing for 15-20 minutes (set a timer; otherwise you'll start thinking "I wonder how long I've been doing this?" ) and it increases focus and attention dramatically. Studies have shown it also helps retention of information (if that's important).
This sounds like really helpful advice. I'll be sure to try that next time I'm having trouble focusing. Thanks!

Who else has (regretfully) lost much of their joy for reading, and what are your reasons?

I write most of my notes with pen and paper, unless it's a specific idea on a project I've started.

I still think the best solution is to just sit down with some Wodehouse. *NM*

It's more likely the internet, and, to a lesser extent, TV than it is games.

You're either too tired or you've simply outgrown certain kinds of genres/books

I had, to some extent, but then I started working with a 1 hour train commute each way.
